Kindly Póg Mo Thóin

Usually, I’m a pretty good cook. But, as we’ve previously established, I’m easily distractable. And last night, I had about five things going at once — I was doing laundry, cleaning the kitchen, composing a post in my head, and trying to make seitan for the first time as well as whip up a nice big batch of curry with tofu, eggplant, green beans, tomatoes and coconut milk.

The seitan didn’t work out so well, but maybe I just need to use a different, higher-gluten kind of flour.

But the curry?

Oh, it tastes great — until you realize that I managed to not rinse all the salt off the eggplant before throwing it in.

I’m still tasting salt on the back of my tongue from dinner last night.
